This is located on the west side of Hawaii’s Big Island, and boasts summertime weather year-round. Popular with tourists because of its dry climate, Kailua-Kona offers exceptional access to the ocean — you can snorkel, kayak, and swim from its many sandy beaches, and observe turtles, dolphins, and whales from the shoreline. Inna’s Cottage is located midway between Kailua-Kona Downtown and Keauhou Bay, in a secure, upscale neighborhood, in a scenic garden setting, 500 feet above sea level, with continuous ocean breezes. It is just a two-minute walk to the Big Island’s historic Walua Trail. The property is conveniently located 20 minutes from the Kona Airport, and minutes from white sand beaches, shopping, and restaurants. Day trips to Volcanoes National Park, the Mauna Kea Observatory, or into the rainforests of the Waipio Valley make Kailua-Kona a perfect home base for your time in Hawaii. This is a perfect place to stay during the Ironman World Championship – the most iconic event on the Big Island.
